Review of NEC SpectraView 1980
Posted by Filip Norrgard in "ARTICLE" @ 10:00 PM
"In the past (and to this day I might add), many monitor manufacturers overlook calibration altogether and basically leave the user to calibrate the monitor themselves whether it be a CRT or LCD. However some monitor manufacturers are fully aware of how important their displays are in the world of image editing, and consequently they’ve taken the proverbial bull by its horns and seriously entered the colour management market. One such company is NEC/Mitsubishi that back in September 2004 announced a new range of LCD monitors that are geared towards colour critical applications. All members of this range fall under the company’s sub-brand “SpectraView” and the first to market are the 19in SpectraView 1980 which I have here, and the 21in SpectraView 2180."
Looking for a picture perfect LCD monitor for your computer? This one might be what you've been looking for, albeit a bit more costly than other LCD screens. Looks a bit ugly, when it looks like something designed in the 1980's from the sides. Furthermore, it might be perfect for editing pictures but maybe not playing games: the response time is 25 ms. Makes me wonder if it is really worth buying this monitor... :?
